For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding toasted pecans or sunflower seeds. The salad can be made a day ahead of time. The flavors will continue to meld together, making it even more delicious. If you prefer a slightly sweeter dressing, you can add an additional tablespoon of sugar. For a tangier flavor, substitute the apple cider vinegar with white wine vinegar or lemon juice. To save time, you can buy pre-chopped cauliflower and broccoli.
